 ===== Overview =====
+The following list includes plugin libraries which abinit can use to add features (DMFT, Wannier functions...) and interoperability (other pseudopotential formats...). They are listed in alphabetical order, not by order of importance. Several are available as fallbacks for abinit: see the options of the configure script for more details, and some links below on installation procedures.
 ===== AtomPAW =====
-AtomPAW is a generation library for PAW atomic data sets (like pseudopotentials). It is the reference package to generate datasets for ABINIT, but several others can be used as well.
+AtomPAW is a generation library for PAW atomic data sets (like pseudopotentials) created by Prof Nathalie Holzwarth and developed in close collaboration with the ABINIT team. It is the reference package to generate datasets for ABINIT, but several others can be used as well.
 You can download AtomPAW from its [[http://users.wfu.edu/natalie/papers/pwpaw/man.html|Wake Forest University project page]].

-===== LibXC =====
+===== Libpspio =====
-LibXC is a library implementing almost all known exchange correlation functionals. It is almost a strict requirement for abinit usage - you gain access to many xc approximations, metaGGAs and so on: you want this.
+Libpspio is a library for interchange (input and output) of different pseudopotential file formats. It supports a number of them for many different codes.

-===== NetCDF =====
-NetCDF is a binary portable file format used for many outputs of abinit. It is strongly recommended to use it for portability, flexibility, and inter-operability with other codes and post-processing tools, e.g. [[https://github.com/abinit/abipy|abipy]]. NetCDF4/HDF5 will soon be a requirement (2017?) and NetCDF 3 deprecated.
